costume obsession time is here again

[burntcopper]

Well, aside from needing to finish the Mediterranean scout group report (currently on Shell) and being freezing.

Spent a bit of time during lunch in John Lewis looking at patterns for Eowyn dress, then looked at some Eowyn piccies, and debating between the white dress you first see her in, or the white one with brown bodice/tunic bit. Opinions?

Making 'back, foul demon!' signs in the direction of play.com. I can't touch anything on there til after birthday, as they have at least 2 items from my birthday list and the 10th kingdom isn't in stock there yet. Yes, damn you, Tors.

What is John Lewis?

I have friends that really want me to go to DragonCon this year and I"m thinking about an Eowyn costume too... I'm more inclined to the white tunic (with wrapped sleeves) and the blue tunic with little Juliet cap sleeves that she wears when she scolds Aragorn for leaving...

Is there a place you would recommend for patterns?

sewing-patterns.com 's a good place to start, according to Tors. Though the brand where I found a good medieval dress pattern was Burda, #2509 or #2484.

John Lewis is a chain of big dept stores in the UK.

I love the 10th Kingdom. I've had it on VHS since it first came out a couple of years ago, but will they EVER make a damned sequel??

Both are good.. i guess it depends on if you want to carry a big sword ;)

I fell in love with the white dress the minute I saw it.
